Come and Take It Texas staged their fake mass shooting near the campus of the University of Texas at Austin just as they planned, but their role play was countered by protesters carrying dildos and fart machines.
AUSTIN - Pro-gun demonstrators staging a mock mass shooting near the University of Texas at Austin on Saturday were overwhelmed in number and ferocity by a large group of counter-protesters wielding dildos and machines that generated fart sounds. [...]
The group of around 100 counter protesters shouted "Texas farts!" and "We fart in your general direction" as they marched down Guadalupe Street in Austin to meet members of Come and Take It Texas and DontComply.com who were staging the mock shooting across the street from the All Saints' Episcopal Church.
I guess you could say they weren't silent or deadly.
We owe a great deal of thanks to the protesters who ensured the day will long be remembered for much different reasons than the gun fetishists intended.
